The birds were falling limbless from the sky Falling in nobody's eyes but mine The birds were closing in again, I try To fight them back and find my way outside Squinting like a newborn in the light I walk for like an hour, maybe five You're the only reason that I might find My way, out here tonight I came here when the road was very dry The road was dry as paper so I typed And in the accident of hands producing lines I hope to clear the birds away and give them flight And when you clear the birds away you see the sky And when you see the sky you know which way to tread And I think you're the only reason That I might, might, might Illuminate the text So I can see to where the grass is really bright, bright, bright Meet you there and know which way to step Oh my love you're always further than I'd like Always moving just ahead of me like time And it isn't that I want to fall behind And it isn't that I don't know how to love But the world is made of paper so I type I write but I could never write enough Now I can see to where the grass is really bright, bright, bright But I don't know if I'll ever make it out And all the birds are falling limbless from the sky Falling in nobody's eyes but mine And I'm squinting like a newborn in the light Squinting like a newborn in the light Of a paper forest starting to ignite Of a paper forest burning out of sight And I think you're the only reason You're the reason, you're the reason The reason for the fire Oh Let these paper forests burn and burn until they're down Maybe then the birds will herd, emerge and lead you out Let these paper forests burn and burn until they're down Maybe then the birds will herd, emerge and lead you out
